Name: Dumpling Soup
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 tbsp Vegetable oil; 2 tsp sesame oil; 1 cup shredded carrots; 5 count Green Onions thinly sliced, whites and greens separated; 3 clove Garlic finely chopped; 1/4 tsp ground ginger; 1/4 cup white miso paste; 6 cup chicken or vegetable broth divided; 1 lb frozen mini dumplings; 3 cup Baby spinach; 3 tbsp soy sauce plus more to serve; 0 count hot sauce or chili oil to serve

Cooking Instructions

1
Sauté the vegetables
Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shredded carrots, green onion whites, garlic, and ground ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Tip: Keep the heat at medium so the garlic softens gently without browning.
Cleanup: Wipe any oil splatters around the pot so they do not cook onto the stovetop.
2
Add the miso and broth
In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with 1/2 cup of broth until smooth. Add this mixture and the remaining broth to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil.
Tip: Dissolving the miso in a small amount of warm broth first helps avoid clumps.
Cleanup: Rinse the whisk immediately so miso paste does not dry onto it.
3
Cook the dumplings
Add the frozen mini dumplings to the boiling broth and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the dumplings are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Tip: Do not overcook the dumplings or they may become too soft and lose their shape.
Cleanup: Discard the empty dumpling bag so it does not clutter the counter.
4
Finish and serve
Add the soy sauce and the green onion greens. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with extra soy sauce, hot sauce, or chili oil.
Tip: Add a soft boiled egg or sliced mushrooms if you want to bulk up the bowl.
Cleanup: Let the pot cool slightly before washing so the broth residue releases easily.
